Soul Kitchen Page #5

Synopsis: In Hamburg, Zinos has a restaurant serving poor-man's fare; he gets by, but his girlfriend has taken a job in Shanghai, he's hurt his back and can't cook, his feckless brother can be on daily parole from jail only if Zinos employs him (though his brother doesn't want to work), a school acquaintance wants to buy the restaurant property, and the tax authority and health inspector are on his case. Zinos hires a temperamental chef and loses all his customers, signs a power of attorney giving his brother full authority at the restaurant, and buys a ticket to Shanghai. Is this a recipe for disaster?

...decide like a child.

After becoming a man,

I left my childhood behind.

Now, just like looking at the mirror,

we look at a dark word

But, we look face to face.

For now, I can just

recognize pieces of a whole

In due time, I will

recognize how I am recognized.

For now, I have

these 3 things remained:

Faith...

...hope...

...love.

This three thing.

But the biggest one is...

...love.

Nooooo!

and cost me very expensive.

I invest a lot of money.

The point is:

You are not the only buyer.

As you know.

You need to increase your offer.

What is your offer?

- Where is that motherf***er?

- Right... Turn right.

Personally, I don't

want to talk about money.

Here.

"Good afternoon" should be said at first.
